simple survey

[irregularegular]

A very simple survey.

1. How many of your grandparents are still living?
2. How many of your parents are still living?
3. (your age, if you wish)

There is something I am particularly interested in, but I won't say what it is as I don't want to skew the answers!

1. How many of your grandparents are still living? None

1. How many of your parents are still living? Both

1. (your age, if you wish) 43

Thanks all!
It was nothing very deep...

I was wondering how unusual it is to have lost both your parents but to still have a grandparent alive (like me). I couldn't think of anyone else I know in that situation, other than my siblings (obviously!). But wondered if I was forgetting people or had a funny sample.

But it seems I was right. Lots of people on this thread have lost grandparents, often all of them. Only one other person has 0 parents alive but has some grandparents (3 in fact, but they don't seem sure so I guess not in touch with all of them).

I'm late 40s btw.

1. 3 out of 4
2. Both
3. 23

None, they were all dead by the time I was 11, but my maternal great grandmother outlived them all, which puts my DM in the same unusual situation as you, having a living grandparent but no parents.
